💼 What the programme involves
“Die Weltbühne” (The Global Stage), is a cultural centre with a large theatre hall in a former village inn in Heckenbeck, a small village with only 450 inhabitants. Every year, the villagers look forward to an international theatre project – for 2 weeks long, you and the rest of your group are therefore invited to the village as guests. Three pedagogues from Russia, Spain and the USA, who for years have been doing body theatre, acrobatic, circus and street music performances without the need for language, invite you to create a theatre piece with them. “Boundless Home – Grenzenlos zu Hause” is the theme of this production. This piece will be created from your ideas, movements and stories. Creativity and art will bring you together with the local residents of Heckenbeck. At the end of the camp there will be an interactive performance, during which spectators from Heckenbeck and the surrounding region will take part.
